Being over 40 brings a profound sense of fulfillment as a wife, mother, and educator. After 30 years of shaping minds and nurturing my family, I cherish the bonds I've built. Traveling to 6 of 7 continents enriched my perspective, unveiling the beauty in diversity. Reflecting on my journey, I embrace every joy and challenge, recognizing they’ve sculpted my character. No regrets anchor me; instead, I find strength in each experience. This stage of life empowers me to savor every moment.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous as a pescatarian means savoring delicious seafood and fresh veggies while nourishing my body. I celebrate my unique shape over arbitrary weight or size, focusing on feeling great in my skin. Rest is vital; I listen to my body and allow myself the downtime I need. Hydration is essential, so I drink plenty of water throughout the day. I'm grateful for my family genes that inspire confidence and vitality. Every day, I embrace my amazing self, staying fabulous is a mindful choice.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would donate $10,000 to St. Benedict's Preparatory School to support educational initiatives, enhancing student experiences. Next, I’d set aside $10,000 in a savings account for my daughter to access when she turns 25, ensuring her financial stability. I’d also gift my stepchildren a total of $10,000 to be split three ways, reinforcing our family bond and supporting their aspirations. Finally, I’d invest the remaining $10,000 wisely in diversified assets to foster long-term growth for family.
